▪ LA CYGNE: 60s at hot-water outlet, 40s on the main lake, clear, normal. Outlook: Linn County Parks reports: blue catfish excellent on fresh cut shad near the hot-water outlet (in a tournament Saturday, a 60-pound blue catfish and many in the 35- to 40-pound range were caught and released).

Blue catfish at La Cygne Lake must have spring fever. With the warm weather from the power plant flowing into the lake, the water temperature at the hot-water outlet is on the rise. And the big catfish are hitting. A 60-pound blue cat was caught in a tournament over the weekend. The bait of choice? Fresh cut shad.
